a really new website

welcome - it's all in hebrew but the pictures are in all languages

http://www.sianophotography.co.il

website redesign

more modern, sleek, clear design

while retaining some of the aspects of the previous 

website structure.

I especially like the "personal" section. some projects I've worked on in the past

couple of years are nicely shown.

it's supposed to work smoothly on any device or computer, reacting to size and resolution.

enjoy !

the second podcast - "behind the camera" - with photographer Gilad Larom

tel aviv through the half-frame

a beautiful series of real photographs taken with an old olympus pen' half frame camera.
the film gives a whole different life to the images, you just can't get that from all the snappy digital cameras.

because you can't set anything but composition in this camera, there's a lot left to chance, and clicking at the right moment.

That's kind of my definition to photo-magic.
Sometimes you just have to leave all the technology and know-how behind, and just make pictures.

a photo session with the wonderful actress Hilla Vidor

The images from the shot with actress Hilla Vidor were spectacular.

Her agency loved them and I hope you will too.
We worked on a few defenitive looks and concepts going toward glamour and beauty.
Beeing an actress made it easy for her to slip into different characters for the camera.
She really gives herself to the images.

The lighting was pretty basic, mostly single light bare flashes, white background.

here are some selected images from the shoot

and the portrait in motion

moving in a new studio

after months of searching, I finaly moved into a new location.
I do not claim that working from home doens't have pros,
but I always believed in a healthy separation between life and work.

So after months of searching and negotiatians I have settled in a nice bright industrial
space among some industrial and office buildings.
Ordered some new furnitures, installed a phone line and internet and I am good to go.

I know there's a lot of hard work a head of me. Convincing the right people
to work with me, to use my skills and my location to achieve the best results.

But I have done this before, so I pretty much have an idea of what is a head...
